Welcome to "The 4-3 Suspension" lesson. This lesson adds the the concepts of scale degrees, diatonic pitches, and adding color to chords. This is the ninth lesson in a series introducing music theory and here we look at the 4-3 suspension, a classic sound that can expand your rhythm repertoire.
Tone-wise I am using the middle position pickup selection on my Tele. I am using a simulated Fender-style amp with a little spring to get a basic gritty tone.
Concepts covered:
